The final strike of the Tribulation of Light that was supposed to destroy both Elric and Lesse has ended safely for both of them. It was thanks to the sudden appearance of the legendary ancient dragon who absorbed the power for them.
This dragon who stood firmly and elegantly before them shone with incredible radiance. Its eyes were filled with lights reminiscent of a diety and anyone who would look at its eyes would not be able to hold their body from bowing down in respect.
Apparently, once a dragon overcomes the Fourth and Ultimate Tribulation of Light, they would be able to reach immortality and ascend to Godness.
Ancestral Dragons are able to open the Mystical Golden River which leads to the Sacred Sanctuary of Dragons where they permanently live as one of Heaven's Pillar.
For the Dragons, reaching the Sacred Sanctuary of Dragons and becoming one of the Heaven's Pillar also means reaching the pinnacle of the Dragon's power and authority.
There are only 4 dragons that are known to have reached the Ancestral Stage. Three from the North and South Alliance, 1 from East and one from the west.
"My Child...." said the legendary dragon via telepathic communication. Lesse understood right away that the dragon in front of her is the original and great Ancestor of her Dragon line: The Red and Green Flame Dragon.
Elric could hear the voice with an echoing brillance. It was soft, yet full of authority. It was magical that he could not help but bow down in awe!
Lesse on the other side is trying her best to calm herself and be attentive to every word of the very presence of the legendary Ancestral dragon.
The powerful dragon looked at Lesse and communicated with her.
"You have the blood of both the Green Lotus and Red Flame Dragon and has even surpassed your predecessors in facing their own tribulation in terms of age and potential. You should know by now how precious your blood essence is but you still decided to share them to this pitiful human just to retain your pride. Truly, you are full of pride even in exchange for death and I admire that."
The Ancestral Dragon took a glance at Elric for a while and continued.
"My only problem is that the human you choose to give your blood to is too weak and might not be able to cultivate the power you have bestowed."
"Forgive me for my recklessness oh great Ancestor. If you will, I will end his life right here and take back my blood from him." Lesse immediately suggested.
"I did not say that my child." The Ancestral Dragon corrected. "Although it is true that this man here is really weak. In terms of all the dragons, there is no doubt he is the weakest one. Being a half-dragon, even newly born one can defeat him with no problems."
Lesse could not help but frown upon hearing the Ancestral Dragon's words. Elric on the other side shuddered in thought.
Just how strong dragons can be?
"However, it is still not too late for this man..." Said the Ancestral Dragon as he spat a small fireball the size of a fist in front of Elric. It was a ball burning with a green and red fire dancing inside it. Despite its small size, it exuded a powerful pressure on him and Elric felt a powerful urge to bite into this small fireball.
"Oh great Ancestor, Is that?!" Seeing this ball, Lesse could not help but stand up in shock.
"That is my Dragon Essence." Explained the Ancestral Dragon.
